Last week I was invited to Cardiff, to the first Spectrum Collections event, in Wales! If any of you don’t know, Spectrum Collections is a Welsh based brand, created by the lovely Sophie and Hannah Pycroft and it was great for them to have an event in their home country. The evening began with pink …
At the beginning of May I turned 23. Here’s a quick roundup of what I received from my family.
Gym membership and personal training sessions. Not very exciting I know but something very useful as I need all the motivation I can get.
Rose gold double ring necklace. My little sister is the cutest. She saw a bracelet that I have which is similar to this and so decided to get it for me as a necklace to match.
I got a tattoo!
Anyone who is close to me will know how big of a deal this is. I don’t do pain and I am very indecisive!
Having a tattoo has been something I have thought about doing for years. During my school years I was constantly coming up with ideas and drawing them on myself. Back then I really liked the idea of a treble clef.
As the years went by, new ideas would pop into my head but I would never take the plunge and actually get one.
The fear of pain was a big factor for me. I hate pain and even the slightest poke on the arm can hurt and make me bruise.
One thing that always played on my mind when thinking about getting a tattoo was my mum. I know it shouldn’t bother me. It’s my body and I am an adult. Mum absolutely dispises tattoos. Her brother, nephew and niece have tattoos and even though she always makes comments about them she has accepted that it’s their choice.
I ย decided on a design and booked an appointment with Timeless Tattoos. For me there was no going back, I had to do this.
Shit.
I have anxiety as it is. The adrenaline was heightened knowing I had to do it alone.
After going through the whole day of being on edge I arrived at the tattoo shop. The tattooist, Dean made me feel relaxed and was chatting away to me as he was drawing out my design. The next minute I know I’m laying down and I’m about to feel the pain. The pain I’d been dreading.
Dean told me he was going to do one dot, just so I could feel the pain. He did five dots. I was actually okay. It didn’t take long until the tattoo was finished. It was painful and at some points I was trying so hard not to twitch but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
The result..
I am so happy with it. I am glad I eventually went ahead and got one. I always say to myself to try things at least once.
AD – Press Event Lush Cardiff have a spa! I was kindly invited to see the new Lush Cardiff Spa, the day before the grand opening. The store I was able to see a bunch of new products, try the full makeup range, have a tour of the spa and have a skin consultation. The …
Since being on Roaccutane, I have found it difficult to wear makeup as my skin has been so sensitive and irritable, anything can set it off. Recently my skin has been better and I have been able to wear makeup a couple of times a week. My current favourites are; Benefit Sugarbomb Blusher, RealTechniques 101 …
